Chapter 21: BATH AND POLITICS
Sol was still in a daze after listening to Lilith's story.Still, it didn't last long, "I understand." He simply answered with a smile full of confidence.Whining would change nothing. If he had the time to complain, then he should just use it to become stronger."Sooo… Why are we taking a bath together."Sol was once again in his bathroom, though, this time, the only ones present were him and his aunt Lilith.Currently, Sol was sitting on a low stool with a towel over his lap hiding his genitals while Lilith crouched behind him and was washing his back."No particular reason. I just thought that it has been a long time since I took a bath with you. The last time I did so was when you were eight? Time flies so fast."Sol simply nodded and lowered his head when she poured a basin full of water over him."I can do the front alone, now it's my turn."Lilith didn't answer and simply turned her back towards him while removing her towel from her back and holding it in place, protecting her

Chapter 22: GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY AND RELIGION
"Your conversation with Little Lilith was particularly interesting."Sol made a deadpan face, while he looked at Edea, at the way his teacher brought up her peeking habits to him.Still, he nodded. He was rather happy about his discussions with her and every time managed to learn some new things he didn't have a complete grasp on.Edea smiled before waving her hand in the air, mana gathered at the tip of her fingertips, and soon a spherically shaped holographic map was slowly formed in front of him."But she is right. It's necessary for you to always have a better grasp of the world."It wasn't the first time he saw that map. After all, it was the map of the known world."As you know, our world is a body made out of 30% land and 70% water. We have a worldwide population of nearly 2 billion and a ratio of 3:7 men to women."Each time Sol saw the map, he couldn't help but fall deep in thought. Even though the formation of the continents was a little different, this map really made him t

Chapter 24: BAD TIMING
"Why? Simply– because I love you, Edea."He did not add anything, neither did he embellish his words nor sugar-coat them."So what if you think you are worthless and without any redeeming qualities? So what if you hate yourself? So what if you find yourself to be weak and disgusting?"He spoke in a strong voice full of emotions and conviction, while a deep golden aura slowly but surely began to emanate from his being covering his form.Edea reeled in shock, the moment she saw that aura. It was without a doubt...'Mana? Moreover, it’s with an attribute?'Even Mars only awakened prematurely with attributeless mana. It was the norm. Humans were simply unable to have an attribute before making a contract.But, the moment Sol’s usually sky blue eyes changed into slitted golden ones. She immediately understood,'He awakened his dragon blood.'Sol, who was also about to continue his tirade, immediately stopped as he felt the new source of energy circulate throughout his body.He looked at hi

Chapter 25: INTERLUDE 1: THE GIRL AND THE GREAT WITCH
She could not really remember, but the oldest recollection of her memories was without a doubt the panging feeling of hunger and the sickening feeling of overwhelming hatred. It was a deep and disturbing feeling that gnawed at her insides and made her unable to sleep or think.During those times, as only a ten-year-old girl, she survived by eating scrap and leftover trash and by fleeing or hiding from most adults, especially males.During those times, there was no kingdom nor did there exist a royal family. People of all races fought over their faiths and tried to indoctrinate their teachings on others. Humans were a prime target for those so-called indoctrinations.They were used as weapons…. they were used as tools…. they were used as mere toys.She hated recalling those times.During those times, human life was cheaper than garbage. A bit of food was incentive enough for people to kill each other over it and every day tens of people laid dead in the bleak streets filled with darkne

Chapter 26: INTERLUDE 2: THE WITCH AND THE KING
Why is it so difficult to keep on living, without gazing anywhere but straight ahead?A question without an absolute answer…An asymmetrically splendid pipe organ was placed on the stage of a small concert hall.The melody produced with grave notes was truly majestic and splendid.It rampaged as if rupturing the hall from the inside.In the lonely concert hall, a fantasia was played by the highly famed musical instrument.In contrast to the giant-like organ, the instrumentalist was comically small.She looked no older than a very young girl.Her hair was colored white. Her dress mirrored her hair. Her doll-like skin, almost as though lifeless, was also of a pale white color. Furthermore, she wore long white gloves, made of satin and silk, that stretched to her upper arms.Only the color of her eyes that were a unique contrast of deep gold and blood crimson, shone in the dark shade of the room.Displaying her small delicate fingers, the cool girl was entranced by her own musical perfor

CH 23: OPEN HEART
"By the way teacher. Don't you have something to explain to me?"Currently, Sol was reading a rather thick brown-covered book titled dangerous zones in the world.It was a rather interesting book written by one of the angels living in Slothstein.Edea, meanwhile, was elegantly sipping on her tea when she heard his abrupt question.Intrigued, she put back her cup on the plate and threw a questioning glance at Sol as she queried for him to elaborate,"I mean, what kind of spell do you always use to make me forget about confessing to you?""By the way, I wrote a memo about me asking you this question today. If after reading this I remark that I have not asked about it I will understand that you did something to me."An awkward silence permeated between the two. Sol didn't even bother lifting his head from his book as he flipped another page.Still, even though Edea couldn't see his face, she could feel that he was quite angry with her.'This is the first time right?'She was quite surpri

Chapter 27:  GOOD OR BAD NEW?
"So, if I understand well, Sol might get kidnapped and gang-raped by a bunch of Witches if your conjecture about his gift is proven.""I am too old to deal with this shit."Lilith sighed as she pinched her brows while she sat on the chair next to Edea. Sol and Edea hide a snicker at Lilith curse.They were still in Edea's world, but after her revelation, Sol decided it might be wise to bring Lilith here."Okay. I understand. Firstly, " She stopped cursing under her breath before finally raising her head, "Congratulations on awakening. It came a little earlier than I thought it would but it's alright. Now we just have to test your capacity and then wait for the opening of the Astral realm.""Thanks. I must visit Camelia tonight. So I will also ask her to test me."It was impossible to know one's own capacity through normal means. The only way was to use a special device the church had the total monopoly on.No one could replicate it since it needed Castitas divine blessing to work."I

Chapter 28: SILENT STEPS
In one of the innermost rooms of the church, a ritual was happening.Despite being completely devoid of any decoration, the room seemed to be covered in a holy atmosphere.In the middle of the room, standing over a large concentric circle in the form of a pentagram, Camelia could be seen with her two arms stretched and bleeding from the slit made on her wrists.She kept mumbling about a blessing from her "mother" as she bathed the circle, that was drawn in a special chalk, with her own blood.This blood, even though it was seemingly coming from a human, had a slightly golden hue.Her expression was as pale as a sheet and her breath was getting weaker. Still, she did not stop.Next to her, a young blonde-haired girl wearing a blue knight armor had a worried expression as she opened and closed her mouth again and again but still didn't voice her worry.She knew that any words getting from her could disturb the entire ritual and since Camelia had been bleeding herself out to the limit of

Chapter 29: CROWN'S SHADOW
Sol frowned a little at the fact that she could slip past all his senses.'Perhaps it's because I am still not used to it?'It wasn't impossible. He just obtained mana recently and he certainly didn't get the total control of it.Still, he didn't wish to create excuses for her."Sol, you awakened?!" Milia immediately closed the door behind her as she exclaimed in surprise."Indeed." He answered calmly with a smile. Now that it was discovered there was no reason to hide it. "I just awakened it this morning, during a discussion with teacher.""Incredible!" Milia walked fast towards him and took him in a hug as she giggled in happiness.Seeing her like that made the suspicion of Sol abate a little. He smiled and he also hugged her in turn."Thanks. It also made me really happy.""Should I reward you?" Milia asked with a sensual smile as she slowly trailed her finger over his trousers.Sol didn't need to be told explicitly what kind of reward she was talking about. He debated a little and

Chapter 30: FIRST FRIEND
Sol slowly opened his eyes as he once again appeared in the special teleportation room belonging to the church.This time, it was a private meeting between him and Camelia so he had no reason to wear particularly special clothes. Though he did make the effort of dressing nicely by wearing a simple black and white cloak over his white suit.'I did not feel sick this time.'A wide smile plastered his face. He had always hated this form of transportation because of the resulting sickness. Now it seemed that he did not have to worry anymore."Welcome, your highness."Other than him, ten others were present in the room. Though the hair color of one of them, in particular, caught his attention.'Blonde hair and blue eyes? And–an armor?'Those two colors were the sign of someone blessed. Genetic had absolutely nothing to do with it. Children wouldn't inherit this particular set of colors. The only way to obtain it is to be blessed or recognized by one of the goddesses. As for the armor, it d
